Heppner, Ore., Gazette - $L ' I I Hay-baling time at the Let Palmer Ranch near lone. Lexington has water problems Lexington's new water sys tem may be financed by a bond issue to be paid off by charges to w ater users. This and other financing possibilities were discussed at a recent informal meeting at which the public was invited to give their views on how to pay the estimated $195,000 water system bill. The present system has been under remodeling for the past year and half and the new city well was completed last month. The new well has been reported as capable of pumping 177 gallons per minute. The water system calls for a new reservoir, supply line, and repairs to the present water distribution system County to subsidize doctor Further action was taken by the County Court at Thurs day's budget committee hearing to use revenue star ring money to assist a doctor if a new one would practice in the community. An additional $5,000 has been set aside to subsidize the rental of a mobile unit for a year or two, which could be used as an office by a doctor. Judge Paul Jones said this was done because many doctors beginning a practice do not have finances to set up a clinic. Jones further said the unit would probably be located near the hospital so the laboratory facilities at the hospital could be used by the doctor. At an earlier meeting $25,000 of revenue sharing funds were designated to underwrite a doctor's salary for one year, PLANNED USE REPORT GENERAL REVENUE SHARING Central Rvnut Sharing provkJt fedrl lunOs directly to local and ttat governments.

Lexington Mayor Gene Orwick said that work on the new system will be set back due to recent problems which have arisen over the city well pump. The pump burned out last week and replacement problems have plagued the city. Apparently, the city will have to have the replacement pump sent to Iowa and resumption of normal pump ing will probably be started Monday or Tuesday. Financing of the new system and the damaged pump will have to come out of the city budget as Revenue Sharing Funds of $907 are already earmarked for public safety. The public safety classifica tion is for the updating of the city's fire fighting equipment. In reference to the water problems Mayor Orwick said, '"It looks like we're not through with this thing yet; we're about three to six months from completing the project."
